Title: Epiphone Elitist Thunderbird/Ping! Exiledarchangel! (and dc10bass too!)
Post by: dc10bass on April 21, 2009, 01:02:26 PM: Group...

I have an Epi Elitist TBird that I got a while back with a broken headstock... now fully repaired, and better than before.
I bought a Gibson Tbird pickguard for it but it is not the right size... the holes do not line up at all.

Does anyone either have an extra pickguard for one of these or possibly able to photocopy their Epi Elitist pickguard for me
so I can make a copy...
I would also be willing to trade a Gibson Thunderbird pickguard for a Epiphone Elitist Thunderbird pickguard.

Also looking for a truss rod cover...

Thanks to anyone that can help!!!

And I've (only now) noticed your new signature ... from renegade archangel (that makes you Lucifer, right?) to fervent Mary Magdalena believer ... to hell and back again ...

No, just a regular Epi, not elitist, but I think the pickguards are the same? I'll check that when I've unscrewed mine. Uwe

Post by: uwe on April 28, 2009, 04:35:20 AM: Hey Exiled one!

I unscrewed the pg for Curt/dc10bass from the Elitist and held it to the reg Epi - they don't match (neither hole alignment, nor size, nor shape). (Need your postal address, Curt!)

But do not despair: I then unscrewed the pg of the reg Epi too and made a 1:1 color photocopy of that. Send me your postal address and you'll get it. (Too much of the detail will be lost if I pdf or fax.)

Regards

Uwe

Now that you mention it, I was thinking along the same lines. 8)

Post by: uwe on April 30, 2009, 02:58:05 AM: It is a religious message, I'm sure. Konstantinos aka Exiledarchangel is Greek-Orthodox and is sending me as a Roman Catolic a pic of a scantily clad girl wearing the star of David and giving a satanic finger sign. Which goes full circle to Konstantinos' alter ego as the Exiledarchangel which - to coin a phrase from Blazer - "as we all know" is Lucifer aka the enlightened one.

Make of that what you will, to me it makes sense. I'm just missing a little Islamic influence.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN!!!!!!!

Post by: uwe on May 06, 2009, 06:16:34 AM: What is your (pictured) sister's name again? :mrgreen: You know how conversion to the Greek-Orthodox faith wouldn't be an issue for me given the compelling circumstances?

The scanner/printer was something unaffordable, high techy and huge we use here in the office. I have no idea how to even work the darn thing, it looks threatening ...
